Is it normal for car film to have small dots?
2 Answers
It is not normal for car film to have small dots. There are generally two main reasons for bubbles in car film: 1. Quality issues: Problems with the quality of the car film itself. 2. Installation issues: Quality problems during the installation of the car film. The solutions for bubbles in car film are as follows: 1. Utility knife: Use a utility knife to make a small diagonal cut on the side where the bubble appears, then use a squeegee and heat gun to smooth it out effectively. 2. Remove the film: Gently peel off the bubbled car film and reapply it slowly following the standard installation process. 3. Professional handling: If the bubbles are caused by dust or sand particles, it is more complicated, and you should take the warranty card to a professional installation center for expert handling.
I've been driving for many years, so getting window tints isn't new to me. It's quite common to notice tiny dots right after installation, especially within the first few days. These small dots could be micro-bubbles or dust particles trapped during installation. If they're small in size, few in number, and not spreading, they usually disappear on their own over time. However, if the dots grow larger, multiply, or obstruct your view, that's abnormal and you should promptly return to the installer for correction. When choosing tints, always opt for professional installation at reputable shops, as high-quality films provide heat insulation, UV protection, and privacy. During regular car washes, avoid using sharp objects to clean the tinted surface to prevent scratches. Generally speaking, minor dots aren't a major concern, but doing a quick check never hurts – it's all about peace of mind.
